Know What I Am lyrics - DMX

And to begin a song

It's just my thing

This fight, hey

And to begin a song (What?)

Man, on the gang

Racks to the top, I'm gonna go

Not gonna stop, I'm gonna blow

Get it before I do anything (Uh-huh)

Nigga in the door, I came to win

What are they doin', what are they sayin'?

Who are they foolin', why are they playin'?

And that's a space, bitch, nobody's feelin'

I'ma start the bass to pick it up

Never forgive, never fuck with, destress

Somethin' wrong? Here, come and get me (Yeah)

It takes time to pull out the chest

Hit you with something, leave a hole in your vest

Yeah, now, every day, I wanna shine (Wanna shine)

I wanna take it back this time (This time)

I want to (I want to), 'cause I know what I am

But I gotta focus on the grind

Go ahead and don't look back, just climb (Just climb)

And I will (And I will), 'cause I know what I stand for

(What?)

(On the gang)

(Just climb and I will)

Uh (What?)

(On the gang)

Uh, uh

Look here, if don't know what you doin', stop playin' with it

You ain't fucked in the streets, stop sayin' that you hit it (Aight)

If I say I did it, it's shit I've done

The motherfucker got killed 'cause they was with that one (What?)

Fuckin' with a real nigga in his wrong mind (Get some)

Tell a nigga through the wrong time, I ain't say I'm too off the fire

They brought that and they saw my knuckle pad, I'ma fuck it

Yeah, now, every day, I wanna shine (Wanna shine)

I wanna take it back this time (This time)

I want to (I want to), 'cause I know what I am

But I gotta focus on the grind

Go ahead and don't look back, just climb (Just climb)

And I will (And I will), 'cause I know what I stand for

Now, every day, I wanna shine (Wanna shine)

I wanna take it back this time (This time)

I want to (I want to), 'cause I know what I am

(What?)

(On the gang)

It's just my thing, oh

Yeah, now, every day, I wanna shine (Wanna shine)

I wanna take it back this time (This time)

I want to (I want to), 'cause I know what I am

But I gotta focus on the grind (On the grind)

Go ahead and don't look back, just climb (Just climb)

And I will (And I will), 'cause I know what I stand for
